HILTON IRA JONES 
ENLIGHTENS AUDIENCE 

Noted Scientist Reveals Some 
New Facts and Wonders 

"Nothing is more needed today than 
a popular conception of the relation- 
ships of chemistry. False teeth, shoes, 
stockings, and hair, are all made by ! 
chemistry. Everything we know is a 
product of chemistry." These are facts 
that Dr. Hilton Ira Jones impressed up- 
on his audience Friday night, March 21, 
at the last lyceum number of the sea- 
son. 

In ancient times the alchemists took 
great pleasure in mystifying their au- 
diences and making them believe there 
was something supernatural about the 
mixing of chemicals. For example, Pio- 
fessor Jones performed an experiment 
which was very popular with these al- 
chemists. In one glass was a solution 
of some base and in another some phen- 
olphthalein (which causes a purple col- 
or to appear when mixed Willi a base). 
After pronouncing a few "magic" words, 
these solutions were poured together, 
and the result was a substance which 
was apparently wine. Perhaps one of 
the ancient alchemist's audience pre- 
ferred water. That was easy; he would 
pour another luiuidi (acid) into the solu- 
tion and — presto change — it was color- 
less. The acid had neutralized the base, 
but of course, the alchemist didn't ex- 
plain this to his speclatois. 

Professor Jones reminded his audience 
of what a fortunate fact it is that water 
expands upon freezing. If it wasn't 
for this, rivers would freeze from the 
bottom up and the earth would be eter- 
nally frozen. This one fact about wa- 
ter, which is true of no other com- 
pound, makes life possible. 

A new metal is Liponilz alloy which 
melts readily at body temperature and 
therefore finds a use in the Grinnell 
sprinklers which are used so extensively 
as fire extinguishers. The creation of 
this metal was done by the chemist 
for the business man. This is true of 
so many of our chemical discoveries 
today. 

One of the seven wonders of the chem- 
ical world is a recent electric switch 
which operates by the intensity of light. 
The slightest shadow passing between 
it and the source of light will cause 
a bell to ring. This makes possible 
the construction of absolutely burglar- 
proof banks and stores. 

Professor Jones told how cotton is 
used to make gun cotton, celluloid, Wes- 
son oil, crisco, and ivory soap. Corn- 
cote are utilized in the manufacture of 
dyes, rayon, ivory, artificial leather, and 
many other things. 

He explained the wonderful combina- 



ENTIRE COLLEGE RE- 
VERTS TO PRIVATE LIFE 



(Continued on page four) 



Captain Kidd had nothing on Ren 
Huntington and Pi of. Gulley when it 
came to burying a treasure. Both the 
Fieslimcn and the World can sympa- 
thize with the people who had to hunt 
for clews to Captain Kldd's treasure, 
hut we have heard that the Freshmen 
hope those people didn't have to hunt 
for one clew as long as they did. 

The long-promised treasure hunt was 
held Tuesday afternoon, March IS. The 
two gioups left the college building at 
four o'clock — everyone happy and an- 
ticipating a wonderful time. They had 
it, but oh, the miles they covered: the 
dust they stirred up; and the time they 
spent hunting clews that just didn't 
seem to be there! They all started out 
with shouts and lots of speed. There 
was plenty of the noise left at the end 
of the hunt but not so much speed. 

From the college canyon, into private 
yards, across vacant lots, down the 
principal part of First street, out to 
the Dayton Road bridge, and down the 
railroad tracks to the brick yard, the 
teams followed their clews. The towns- 
people who wondered where the fire was. 
and why the college students were run- 
ning all over the town (and suburbs) 
had to get what satisfaction they could 
from the hasitly Hung answers of, "Oh, 
it's a treasure hunt!" 

The World won the treasure hunt — 
but they were generous with their treas- 
ure and gave everyone as much of it 
as they wished. The treasure — an im- 
mense hunch of bananas- was only a 
part of all the good eats. Buns, ween- 
ies, coffee, doughnuts, marshmnllows 
and pickles, were immensely -enjoyed 
by faculty and students around a huge 
bond re. 

And the tired and aching muscles! 
Oh, my! But it was worth it! 



LYCEOI USHERS STAGE 

LAST RIOT SATURDAY 



MRS. PENNINGTON GIVES TEA 

Many of the Y. W. C. A. members 
attended the lea given by Mrs. Pen- 
nington for them at her home Wednes- 
day, March 12. Mrs. Pennington in- 
vited the girls to her place in order 
that she might meet and become better 
acquainted with a number of the new 
students. The girls felt that it was 
an hour pleasantly spent, and many ex- 
pressed their appreciation. Mrs. Hodg- 
in poured the tea. 



After working together at Lyceum 
numbers throughout the winter, the 
ushers decided to meet and eat for one 
last good time. Consequently Prof, and 
Mrs. Perisho greeted nine ravenous ush- 
ers, carrying food they could hardly 
wait to eat, Saturday evening at G 
o'clock. This and the steaming chick- 
en pie already prepared allowed the 
crowd to eat, and eat some more. Then 
to add variety to the evening, they ate 
again — at least such is the leport of 
some of the fortunate ones. The whole 
meal was seasoned with the wit and 
antics of the head ushers and all the 
little ushers, who were Prof. Perisho, 
Ben Huntington, Ralph Choate, Lillian 
Barnes, Doyle Green, Delia Hanville, 
Elizabeth Hadley, Lincoln Wirt, La 
Verne Hutchens and Generva Street. 

As originally planned, the "feed" was 
to be given by those who made mistakes 
at any of the programs. That is why 
everyone furnished part of the food — 
and Prof. Perisho had to provide the 
most. 



RETURN OF ALUMNI 

Familiar faces were seen in the 
Friends church Sunday, March 10. Ra- 
chel Lundquist was up from Camas 
Valley and Homer and May Pearson 
Nordyke from Oakland. 



Y. W. C. A. ELECTS AND 
INSTALLS NEW OFFICERS 



The annual business meeting of the 
Y. W. was called to order, March 12, 
by the president, Genevieve Badley. 
The minutes of the last meeting and 
committee repoils for the year were 
read and accepted. The latter bore evi- 
dence of the very fine work that has 
been done by Y. W. this year. The 
officers for the coming year were then 
elected. 

Elizabeth Hadley was installed as 
president of the Y. W. at the meeting 
on March 19. The ceremony was very 
simple yet very effective. Each old of- 
ficer and cabinet member held a car- 
nation which was presented to her suc- 
cessor, accompanied by a few words of 
encouragement and congratulation. 

The new Y. W. cabinet is as follows: 

President Elizabeth Hadley 

Vice President Dorothea Nordyke 

Secretary Helen George 

Treasurer Lela Jones 

Undergraduate Representative 

Lillian Barnes 

Faculty Advisor _ Miss Sutton 

The committee chairmen are as fol- 
lows: 

Religious Meetings ..La Verne Hutchens 

World Fellowship Helen Whipple 

Social Service Delia Hanville 

Music Arloene Davey 

Social Ethel Newberry 

Deputation Dorene Heacock 

The Y. W. has spent a very profitable 
year under the leadership of the old 
cabinet and it expresses its appreciation 
for the work accomplished. There is 
every expectation that this coming year 
will be just as worth while in accom- 
plishment as the last. 



Y. M. C. A. HOLDS ELECTIONS 

On March 12 the College Y. M. C. A. 
elected its officers for the coming year 
on the standard of the offices as they 
have been upheld by the outgoing of- 
ficers. They are: 

President Elmore Jackson 

Vice President Lynn Hampton 

Secretary _ Ervin Diment 

Treasurer Charles Post 

Social Com. Chmn Lincoln B. Wirt 

Membership Com. Ch. ..Hans T. Nieland 

Deputation Chmn Loyde Osburn 

We wish to extend our congratula- 
tions to those leaving office, .for the 
splendid manner they have upheld the 
standards of the Y. M. C. A. as an or- 
ganization and done their work, keep- 
ing the spirit of the Y. M. C. A. ahead 
of them at all times. We wish espe- 
cially to commend the efforts of Frank 
L. Cole, who has been a splendid head 
of the Y. M. during the entire year. 



STUDENT BODY PLAY 
UNUSUALLY GOOD 

"Passing of Third Floor Back" 
Given by Fine Cast 



FINAL WOMEN'S DERATES 

Pacific's final dual debate of the year 
with Lin field College were held March 
10 and 11. These debates were part 
of Linfield's elimination contest to se- 
lect their women representatives for 
the national meet. Pacific was repre- 
sented by La Verne Hutchens, Laurene 
Geltman, Lela Jones, and Marian Cof- 
fee. The first two debated the nega- 
tive of the disarmament question on 
Monday at Linfield; the other two up- 
held the affirmative here the next day. 
Both debates were without decisions. 
Our girls did their best and received 
excellent practice. 



Many of the large audience who at- 
tended the student body play given on 
March 4, proclaimed it the best ever 
presented In Pacific College. The suc- 
cess of the presentation of "The Pass- 
ing of the Third Floor Back" by Jerome 
K. Jerome, was due to the continued 
efforts of Miss Binford, the coach, the 
splendid work of the cast and business 
staff and the fine cooperation of the 
student body as a whole. 

The first floor front of Bloomsbury 
Place, London, with its cluttered table, 
crooked pictures and liquor, together 
with the boarders of the house present- 
ed an almost disgusting atmosphere. 

In the prologue, Mrs. Sharpe, the 
landlady of the boarding house, who was 
a cheat, and her slavey, Stasia, who 
was a "workhouse brat" with no man- 
ners whatever, disliked by everybody, 
herself included, were represented by 
Generva Street and Helen George re- 
spectively. There were nine boarders 
in the house: Joey Wright (Bob Whit- 
lock), a retired bookmaker of sixty, who 
had lost his voice through too much 
shouting, was practically engaged to 
Vivian Tompkins. Her true lover, how- 
ever, was Christopher Penny (Carl San- 
doz), a young painter who had fallen 
from his high standard of art to a very 
low one. Vivian (Genevieve Badley) 
was an impudent young hussy and the 
daughter of Major and Mrs. Tompkins 
(Frank Cole and Elizabeth Hadley), who 
were continually quarrelling with each 
other. Jape Samuels^ (Marion Devine) 
was a Jew who was continually trying 
to sell stock in a silver mine which 
he claimed he owned. Lincoln Wirt 
took the part of Harry Larckom, a 
"hard-boiled" young man and a friend 
of Jape's. Miss Kite (Ethel Newberry) 
was an old maid of forty who tried to 
appear nineteen by excessive use of cos- 
metics, giggling, and wearing of what 
she called "killing costumes." Mrs. 
Percival De Hooley (Helen Whipple) was 
a cousin to Sir George Tweedle, the 
baronet and she delighted in putting 
on airs. 

Against Mrs. Sharpe's orders, Stasia 
put up a sign advertising the room in 
the third floor back and received as 
an answer, a stranger (Ralph Choate), 
who because of his kind manners and 
fine personality, which was of such an 
unusual type for this place, caused an 
atmosphere of resentment towards his 
appearance. Gradually, however, his 
presence and conversation radiated an 
atmosphere which diffused through the 
house and became assimilated by the 
boarders, changing their personalities 
and characters. 

The entire cast did exceedingly fine 
work and received numerous compli- 
ments. Mucli credit is also due to Miss 
Binford, coach; Veldon Diment, busi- 
ness manager; Fred Harle, stage man- 
ager; and Mary Sue Binford, property 
manager. 

Before the play and between the three 
parts, program numbers were furnished 
as follows:

cific College teams can have. And this doesn't mean to support 
baseball and track and forget tennis, either! 

While we're on the subject of backing teams, let's give a 
thought to the really remarkable success of our debate teams, 
considering the positively punk support they received from the 
student body as a whole. Thanks to the efforts of the debaters, 
the forensic manager, and Mr. Conover, we have upheld our high 
standard in debating as well as in athletics. 

Lastly I wish to speak of another activity of Pacific College 

. that receives practically its entire support from those who under- 
take it. This is the musical activites of the college, believe it or 

j not ! As we go to press we are looking forward to both Glee Club 
concerts, but when you read this, the Men's concert will be over 
(sigh of relief). However, you can show your appreciation of 

j this article by backing, one and all, the Girls' concert. Also, here- 
after during the year, when it is announced that the P. C. glee 

' club will sing, sit up and take notice instead of saying, "Aw, I've 

| heard them before — they're fair, I guess." Remember, they've 
trained longer than any athletic team does, and deserve credit — 
as well as cash! 

In parting — Keep your eyes open ; you can't see if you don't !

DANGEROUS? 
Only recently has the college student body had a chance to 
come in contact with people of other races again. First we showed 
the Chinese and Japanese gentlemen from Hawaii a fine time 
and seemed to convince them of our friendliness. Then we re- 
ceived wholeheartedly Rev. Daniel Hill's presentation of a part 
of the negro problem. Our representatives at the Pan-Pacific 
Conference tried to carry the Pacific College spirit into their re- 
lations with the Oriental students there and found how effective 
it was. This would seem, on the surface, an ideal place for for- 
eign students to come. Yet some observers wonder if our treat- 
ment of them is based on idle curiosity or on real friendliness 
and understanding. If its basis is really understanding, we will 
,treat foreigners in other places as we do here and make a real 
contribution to international good will; if not, our curiosity will 
soon be satisfied and we will become as intolerant as some other 
groups. Let's make it our task to realize the former condition 
as a reality. 

Remember that thinking may be dangerous, but it is worth 
taking the risk. There is a new spirit in the world and it is 
for us as students to see that it grows. He who thinks his own 
thoughts for himself is as brave as he who fights someone else's 
battles for the commendation of the crowds. And he who can 
Understand and like people of other colors in spite of the jeers 
of those less enlightened is certainly an asset in this modern 
world. L L. H. 



LET'S TALK IT OVER 

Should the efficiency of the Room 14 
committee be determined by the expul- 
sion or reformation of disturbing spir- 
its? 

By the way are you aware of the fact 
that the Fourth Year class is the third 
largest in the school? That ought to 
prove something; at least that the Acad- 
emy is not dead yet. 

Just one more reference to treasure 
hunts sometimes involved: Which is 
the more essential, brain or brawn, and 
can anything ever be found without in- 
volving hard work of some kind? 

The Fourth Years congratulate Mar- 
garet on the 1030 model. 

It would seem that fire alarms should 
be an anged to take place during periods 
entirely devoted to class work. Classes 
are more apt to be resumed than stud- 
ies. 

Some teachers grade by the classical 
allusion, "A BCD Gold Fish." The 
only trouble with this is that they seem 
to be unduly partial to the gold Ash. 

Now that the Gold P, or is it Q, club 
has feebly resumed its ministrations 
the Fourth Years are struck by the 
fact that of five boys in the class only 
four have had the privilege to test the 
organization. Tempting fate or not, 
this is true, hut if the fine traditional 
spirit keeps up, the number may soon 
be five. 

Even if you haven't noticed it, the 
Fourth Years have a new class motto. 
1 It goes like this:- -"CHECK!" 

Some classes are like a dream — you 
have to go to sleep to enjoy them.

SUGGESTION AND COLLEGE LIFE 

How many of you listened with both ears wide open to whal 
Dr. Jones said about the Power of Suggestion with regards tc 
athletic teams, in chapel the other day ? If you did, you'd under- 
stand the principle underlying all forms of rooting and backing 
of athletic teams. With a small student body like ours, the teams 
all need the support of every one of you. 

Pacific has just concluded a very successful basketball sea- 
son, but how much more successful it would have been if every 
student had taken it upon himself to turn out and root for his 
team with all his might ! I wish to cast no asparagus at the yell 
and song leaders — they did their part. But did WE? 

Dr. Jones stated that "suggestion" in the form of rooting 
would do wonders to a college team. He was right — the writer 
knows by experience — but perhaps you have your doubts. Do 
you remember what happened during the third quarter of the 
U. of 0. soccer game when the team received that telegram from 
the dorm girls ? To say nothing of the fight aroused by the loyal 
carload of rooters that drove to Eugene that day. Just ask Fritz 
Harle, or some other player. 

Let's revolutionize our rooting section this spring and every- 
body get behind P. C.'s sports, and you'll see just what class Pa-

WATCHING THE CINDERS FLY 

Well, here the spring rolls around 
again and Coach Gulley's spike slingers 
are rounding into action once more. 
This will be Pacific's second track sea- 
son in about fifteen years, counting last 
year as the first. Are we going to 
make it a real season, upholding the 
standards that were handed to us by 
a team that worked and sweat to make 
P. C.'s first track season successful? 
Remember those eight men who, in two 
meets last year, gave our Alma Mater 
a record on the cinder path that was 
so clean that not a college in Oregon 
would have been ashamed to own it. 
Three men are back from that last 
year's team, BUT — three men can't 
make a track team, no matter how en- 
ergetic they are. Are we coming out 
to help those three men keep up Pa- 
cific's record? Or we going to say, 
"Well, gee whiz, I'm turning out for 
the play, baseball, and tennis! Whadya 
think I am?" and then end up and not 
turn out for any of them? 

Don't mistake me — track isn't easy! 
It requires more work and grind dur- 
ing training season than any sport there 
Is — but when the day of a meet comes, 
you'll say it was worth it. AND IT 
WILL BE! Now is the time to start 
the old grind, too. Only three or four 
weeks are left to get into trim and 
there's plenty to be done in that time. 

What if you have never run or jump- 
ed before? Isn't it about time you start- 
ed? Get this! There are fifteen events 
on the list for a college track team. 
Of these, but five are being entered by 
the veterans who are waiting for YOU 
to turn out and beat them out of their 
events. Remember, we ought to enter 
two men in eveiy event, and if that 
doesn't leave enough variety, we want 
to know what does! 

TODAY is track day in practice. If 
it doesn't rain, let's go out and show 
Coach, the student body, and that noisy 
track manager what we're made of. 
You'll never regret it — and remember — 
We can't make a track team sitting in 
room 14 talking between tables to the 
girls- 

You'U hear more of us as soon as 
the season gets started. 

A fellow enthusiast. 



ting down to work, and practice is in 
full swing. 

As left-overs from last year's season 
we have the impressive sum-total of one 
letter-man, Fritz Harle, who from his 
last year's experience and the ability 
he is showing at present, is expected to 
be Pacific's mainstay in the box. There 
are two other potential pictures on 
hand, Hans Nieland and George Don- 
nell, both of whom are showing storm 
signals for opposing batters. Behind 
the bat we will have Hank Davenport, 
who is showing up well in that posi- 
tion. The men turning out for infield 
positions are Owen Baker, Ralph Moore, 
Ervin Diment and Burton Frost. Out- 
fielders are Lincoln Wirt, Russell Mil- 
lett, Wendell Mills, Eldon Newberry, 
Curtis Morse, Oren Winslow and Noel 
Bowman. 

Baseball and track practices are be- 
ing alternated to provide a chance for 
candidates to turn out for both sports. 

Let's all get behind Coach Gulley and 
the team and help put baseball over 
big this year. 



GIRLS VS. REED 

Due mostly to lack of practise, the 
Pacific girls lost a hard game to Reed, 
on our own floor, on the night of Tues- 
day, March II. The final score was 
33 to 11 in favor of Reed. 

The game was fast and well played, 
but the Reed girls showed more expe- 
rience, especially in pass work and 
shooting. Both teams played hard and 
several time-out periods, called by the 
referee, were necessary to rest the girls 
on both sides. So hotly contested was 
the game in P. C.'s guard territory that 
one of the Reed forwards sprained an 
ankle and had to be replaced. 

P. C. started the scoring and led by 
a small margin In the first quarter, 
but after that the team from Portland I 
seemed to "find themselves." Our guards 
were at a disadvantage because of the 
extreme longitude of the Reed forwards. 

In the last quarter P. C.'s regular i 
lineup of Nordyke and Davey, forwards; . 
Whipple and Gettmann, centers; and | 
Barnes and Mc Michael, guards, was 
shifted, sending "Leaping Dot McMi- 
chael" to center to live up to her name, 
and placing Elinor Whipple back to 
guard. The team functioned much bet- 
ter this way, and would have made the 
score a closer one had not so much 
time been used. 



TENNIS AGAIN 

Now is the time for tennis, that is, 
if and when the rains let up. Tennis 
is a major sport at Pacific and besides 
furnishing pleasure and good exercise 
for anyone who wishes to play tennis 
it serves as a way to represent the 
college in athletics. 

Every year we put out a tennis team, 
both men's and women's teams, which 
play teams from Reed, Linfleld, Oregon 
Normal, Pacific University and other 
schools. Tennis ladders are being con- 
structed, and tournaments for places 
on both the men's and women's teams 
will soon be under way. 

Last year was a successful one in 
tennis. Pacific won several matches, 
and the conference singles champion- 
ship. This year we have back two 
members of last year's men's team and 
one member of the women's team, but 
there is plenty of good new material 
for both teams and the competition for 
places will be keen. 

Everyone who has the time and wants 
to represent the college in athletics 
should turn out for tennis. If you think 
that tennis is a parlor game, you are 
mistaken. Just try it once and you 
will find that it is a real game, full 
of fun and thrills as well as being good 
exercise. 

As soon as Jupiter Pluvius moves his 
freight to some other section of the 
country, let's all get out with our rack- 
ets and give Pacific a winning tennis 
team. 



MUSINGS 

Here I am again! The editors have 
been so kind as to allow me a little 
space each issue and I will attempt to 
use that privilege each time. 

To bring to your thinking some bit 
of wisdom, some bit of philosophy of 
life, which will make life easier and 
more worth while; to bring some bit 
of humor which will cause you to smile; 
in short, to show you some new beauty 
in life, is my purpose. If I but suc- 
ceed in this purpose, life will not have 
been lived in vain.

Have you ever had a task to do which 
was irksome to you, which you felt 
was a sort of penance? Did you find 
it hard because you disliked it? Chris- 
topher Morley has given us the follow- 
ing new and better conception of how 
to go about such a task: "It is intoler- 
able for a human being to go on doing 
any task as a penance, under duress. 
No matter what the work is, one must 
spiritualize It in some way, shatter the 
old idea of it into bits and rebuild it 
nearer to the heart's desire."

The dormitory, contrary to the usual 
course of events, has been quite quiet 
lately. Such a condition is hard to im- 
agine. Some of the fellows say that 
baseball and track during the day make 
it necessary to study more in the eve- 
nings. Others have timidly suggested 
that the change is in honor of our 
guest, Mr. Toft, who has been visiting 
Oren most of the week. One shy soul 
ventured the theory that the change 
from Oren's "two-for-a-quarter" tooth 
paste to Don's Pepsodent has been too 
sudden. Whatever the cause, the re- 
sults are unbelievable.

AUNTY HRSFTHRS

Well, students, here's your old Aunty 
again just as good as ever, and I must 
say I'm very much more pleaded with 
the types of questions you turned in I 
this week. I hope you'll continue to 
keep up the interest in our little col- 
umn that you've shown up to this time. ! 
I only hope all of my leaders feel the 
same way that the first writer has 
taken. 

Dear Aunt Hrsy: 

I am sure I speak for all your cor- 
respondents when I thank you for the 
sweet and charming way in which you 
answer all your questions. I have no- 
ticed a very remarkable change in my 
friends since they have written to you. | 
Hardly any of them will speak to me 
more. This metamorphosis is due to 
you and your wondeiful ability to an- 
alzye personal problems. All Hail to 
thee, dear Auuty- 

Yours respectfully, 

Recent Lee. 



Dear ANTI HRSFTHRS: 

I have been profoundly worried since 
Dr. Jones' chapel talk last Friday. He 
seemed to think it was necessary to 
have a full length mirror in one's room 
in which to glare at one's self on rising 
to insure a happy life. I can't under- 
stand how our own Prof. Gulley will 
manage such a mirror. Do you think 
there is yet any hope for his happiness? 

Yours, Blokhed. 

Dear Blokhed: 

If you've ever watched Prof. Gulley 
on the baseball diamond, and listened 
to him about the time a stray ball 
comes flying toward his head, you won't 
ever worry about his happiness, and 
you'll realize that our one and only 
Emmett Gulley will always be happy, 
even if he has to use the rear view 
mil ror from his Chewy to "rise" in 
front of. Thine, Aunt Ilisy. 



REV. DANIEL HILL SPEAKS 

Rev. Daniel Hill, of the Bethel Aven- 
ue church in Portland, Mrs. Jessie Coles 
Grayson, and Miss Alberta Mayo pre- 
sented a veiy interesting program dur- 
ing the chapel peiiod on March 20. Mrs. 
Grayson, accompanied by Miss Mayo, 
sang two negro spirituals, "The Gospel 
Train Is Coming" and "Deep River," 
after which Mr. Hill spoke about the 
Relationship of Delinquency Areas to 
Problems of Race. 

He spoke of the work that has been 
done in attempting to determine the 
effect of environment on delinquency! 
and piesented evidence that the sec- 
tions along the waterfronts and rail- 
roads, which are the neglected and 
abandoned areas, produce the most de- 
linquency. He went on to say that it 
is usually in such sections that people 
of his race are compelled to live. He 
appealed to the caUege students to give 
the problem thoughtful consideration. 
He closed by stating that the negro 
needs religion, education, and recrea- 
tion, but along with this should be a 
change in enviionment so that he may 
be able to understand and appreciate 
the high ideals of American democracy. 
Mrs. Grayson closed the program by 
singing two more spirituals, "By an' 
By I'm Coin' to Lay Down This Heavy 
Load," and "Go Down,. Moses, Way 
Down in Egypt Land."

THE DORMITORY MOl'SE 

Last week end I spent most of my 
lime in the walls of Kanyon Hall. And, 
believe it or not, I did a lot of sleeping 
— (Eva was gone all day Saturday). I 
heard Marian say she was going home 
with Goldie, and nearly everyone else 
packed up her bag and left. Just a 
few girls and myself weie the only ones 
here. I've derided that Kanyon Hall 
is a pretty good place to live — when 
everybody is gone. 



tion of discoveries possible in a late

metal one-half as heavy as aluminum 
and so hard it cuts glass like a file; 
and aldur, a substance which cannot 
be burned, cannot break, cannot be shot 
through and at high altitudes cannot 
be seen. It is possible to pilot the plane 
by radio. Imagine an aldur-berylium, ra- 
dio-piloted, poisoned-gas air plane!

Although it will be impossible to make 
some of the thinkeis believe this until 
He is shown to them, it is evident that 
a Supreme God must be behind the 
wonders of the universe." 



If every penny that John Henry finds 
costs the boys' dorm two fuses, we 
hardly think it would be profitable for 
the said party to make coin finding his 
occupation.

Dear Aunty: 

What does one do in the case of in 
digestion contracted at a soccer feed 
one never received? 

Truly yours, I Wonder. I 
Dear Aunt Hrsfthis: 

I was terribly embarrassed the other i 
day because I couldn't remember what j 
I'd eaten at that U. of O. "soccer feed." | 
Do you think I am losing my mind, or I 
did the food afflict me in any way? 

I. R. Crazy. 
Dear U. R. Ciazy and TJ. Wonder: 

It seems to me I remember hearing 
something about that soccer feed for 
the benefit of winning athletes myself, j 
Frankly I don't think that either of 
you boys have lost your minds nor are | 
you troubled with a very serious case 
of indigestion. I'm afraid the only thing 
for you to do is just to wait and hope, 
for I've heaid that P. C. girls always 
keep their words, and I wasn't 15 ft. I 
from the spot when said feed was prom- 
ised -in return for bringing home the 
bacon in the U. of O. game. Maybe 
they're waiting for you to do it again, 
just to see if you boys really can swamp 
the Oregon team. I wonder a little 
myself. Lovingly, 

Your Aunty Hrsfthis.

wearing suspiciously satisfied looks on 
their faces.

That everyone had as good a time 
at the treasure hunt as did Mr. Gulley. 

That Benny is not the one to hide 
the clues for the next hunt. 

That the eats committee enjoyed their

That few people get poison oak — the 
fewer the better. 

That eventually the stiffness will wear 
away. 

That the storekeepers did not find 
their goods in too much of a mess. 

That the Freshmen realize that nuts 
go to the squirrels who earn them.
